Buyer's premium:

Zohar on the Torah, “from the Tana Rabbi Shimon bar Yochay…as printed in Livorno [1851]… page after page (one of the immigrants … in Jerusalem … Rabbi Yitzhak Perachi…who brought to print…with block letters).” With introduction, conclusion, and “Dvash Lefi” notes from the Chida, as well as Leshonot HaZohar from the work Ben Yochay; a table of abbreviations; and indices as in the Livorno edition. The wording “page after page” mentioned on the title page is not entirely accurate—the tops of the first sides of the leaves given page numbering from the Mantua printing. Approbation of Rabbi Chaim Palagi. Based on the approbation this was printed between 1862-63.
